U+6905 "椅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+6905 "椅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents the meaning of "chair" or "seat," often used in modern Mandarin as the noun for a backrest-supported sitting furniture piece. It is a logograph composed of the radical "木" (wood) on the left side, indicating a material association, and the phonetic component "奇" on the right, which provides a hint to its pronunciation (yǐ). This character appears in East Asian scripts, including traditional and simplified Chinese, as well as Japanese and Korean Hanja, where it maintains a similar semantic range. Its usage spans everyday contexts like furniture descriptions, compound words such as "椅子" (yǐzi, meaning chair), and historical texts, reflecting the long-standing cultural importance of seating in East Asian traditions.
